Amp's current resale value is around $300... Not worth sending in at that price. I think I'm going to attempt to tackle this myself!
So, holding down the 3 front buttons while booting results in the fan kicking up to top speed, the front panel LED's all lighting up and the amp staying on... Front panel is useless... pushing the buttons results in the menu saying "press me" "prev" or "next." Nothing useful there. I attempted to hook it up to band manager, but it wouldn't talk to the computer. Any other ideas? My theory is that the power supply is ok. It ran just fine without kicking over in to the amp stage. When it trys to kick over to the amp stage, channel 2's ready light briefly comes on, while channel 1's does not. I think channel 1 may be causing the issues here. Tomorrow I'm going to rip into the amp and see if I can find any bad solder joints...
